  ABSTRACT: Foreign bodies are a rare cause of appendicitis, because in most cases these ingested foreign bodies cross the digestive tract asymptomatically [1] [2] [3]. However, some penetrate the lumen of the appendix causing its inflammation. We report an unusual observation of acute appendicitis induced by a foreign body namely a bone fragment in the visceral surgery department of the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Villeneuve Saint-Georges.
